Some multidimensional gnome i met has been having some problems with getting crystals. My gnome has attempted an extraction on acacia bark a number of times. Always using relatively small amounts of bark. First time after the a/b extraction process he evaporated off all of the shellite and was left with a tiny amount of orangey brown goo that deffiately had the alien spice smell. Unfortunately did not result in enough for an active dose. after this experience my gnome decided to try freeze precip. Everytime that he tried to freeze precip some crystals, it appears to work but then once the crystals return to room temperature they dissappear. Basically what happens is the shellite is left in a cold freezer overnight. In the morning, tiny clear white crystals can be seen on the side of the glass. The excess shellite is poured off and the vessel is left for a few hours to evaporate off the remaining solvent. But everytime without fail, as the glass returns to room temperature the crystals dissappear. Looking at the last experiement there is now a thin layer of whiteish residue rimming the inside of the glass where the crystals were. But never any crystals Can anyone advise my stupid gnome?
